Comparative transcriptome reprogramming in oak galls containing asexual or sexual generations of gall wasps (2024)
Journal Article

Oak gall wasps have evolved strategies to manipulate the developmental pathways of their host to induce gall formation. This provides shelter and nutrients for the developing larva. Galls are entirely host tissue; however, the initiation, development... Read More about Comparative transcriptome reprogramming in oak galls containing asexual or sexual generations of gall wasps.

A bioecological approach to conceptualising posttraumatic growth in psychosis (2024)
Journal Article

Background: Posttraumatic growth (PTG) refers to positive psychological changes arising from adversity. PTG in psychosis is an emerging area of focus, however the individualistic conceptualisation of PTG has been questioned. We extend these debates t...

Observation of a spontaneous anomalous Hall response in the Mn5Si3 d-wave altermagnet candidate (2024)
Journal Article

Phases with spontaneous time-reversal (T ) symmetry breaking are sought after for their anomalous physical properties, low-dissipation electronic and spin responses, and information-technology applications. Recently predicted altermagnetic phase feat... Read More about Observation of a spontaneous anomalous Hall response in the Mn5Si3 d-wave altermagnet candidate.

2,2-Difluoroethylation of heteroatom nucleophiles via a hypervalent iodine strategy (2024)
Working Paper

The 2,2-difluoroethyl group is an important lipophilic hydrogen bond donor in medicinal chemistry, but its incorporation into small molecules is often challenging. Herein, we demonstrate electrophilic 2,2 difluoroethylation of thiol, amine and alcoho... Read More about 2,2-Difluoroethylation of heteroatom nucleophiles via a hypervalent iodine strategy.

Using Object-Oriented Simulation to Assess the Impact of the Frequency and Accuracy of Mobility Scoring on the Estimation of Epidemiological Parameters for Lameness in Dairy Herds (2024)
Journal Article

Mobility scoring data can be used to estimate the prevalence, incidence, and duration of lameness in dairy herds. Mobility scoring is often performed infrequently with variable sensitivity, but how this impacts the estimation of lameness parameters i...
